KLAMATH ROUTE
LOGICAL
Klamath Tails, May 2. The
Irrefutable facts favor the Kla
math Falls route, from Eugene
to Weed, as the main through
highway to be designated by the
highway commission before July
1. That was the comment, today
by Tom B. Watters, chairman of
the highway committee of the
chamber of commerce, in refer
ence to reports from Medford
of an attempt by communities
along No. 99 (the Pacific hign-

way) In southern Oregon to eb
tain the interstate designation
lor that route.
Watters indicated that the lo
cal chamber and his committee
have already gathered a large
amount of factual material in
support of the Klamath designa
tion, and that no grass will grow
under the committee's feet In
seeing that the gathered infor
mation is properly presented
ana recognized.
Proposed Plan
Highway Commissioner Ar
thur SchauoD m-oBosed at the
last highway commission meet
ing that the Klamath design:
Hon be made. The federal high
way act calling for 40,000 miles
of interstate highways gives the
commissions the responsibility
tor designation of the routes in
each state, and the Oregon com
mission will probably make
decision in the next few weeks,
The Medford meeting of the Pa
cific Highway association was
called after Schaupp presented
nls proposal.
Under Schaupp s plan, the In
ter-regional will leave Portland
southbound to Eugene, thence
go over the Willamette highway
to No. 97 at Chemult, thence
south through Klamath Falls to
n junction with the Pacific high
way at Weed. This route has
been heavily"- traveled by
through traffic since the com
pletion of the Willamette high
way in 1930.
"The Klamath route Is short
er, faster, less costly to build
and to travel," said Watters
"The hard engineering facts
point to its designation as the
'through highway.' Arguments
won't change those facts.
"We recognize the need for
adequate highway facilities for
the fine communities along the
Pacific highway In southern
Oregon. The claim there is more
local traffic over there, is a
strong reason for designating
the Klamath route for through
travel, following a principle that
is now widely accepted by engi
neers. The Klamath route has
natural advantages that make it
the logical through line."
Pfc. Clarence Nelsen was re
leased April 14 from Stalag 2B,
German prison camp, according
to a letter received from him by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius
Nelsen, yesterday. His letter
said he was one of the prisoners
taken on the march across Ger
many, recently revealed in press
dispatches. .
Pfc. Nelson, who ipent a fur
lough here last July, arrived in
England early in September,
1944. He is a graduate of Med
ford high school.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson have two
other sons in the service: Capt.
Isben, who has been In the South
Pacific for three years and is
expected home on a leave in
May, and T-5 Kermit, with Pat
ton's Third army.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
E
Figures which explain the
present shortage of sugar for
civilian consumption were is
sued today by the local war
price and ration board. Authori
ties have stated that but 700,000
tons of sugar will be available
this year for home canning as
compared to 1,500,000 tons last
year.
This nation used 135 million
100-pound sacks of sugar in 1941
the statement points out. Of each
100 pounds, but five came from
sugar cane grown and refined in
this country; 25 pounds was
grown in the 19 sugar-beet grow
ing states here and 70 pounds
came from off-shore sources
Up to 1941, 15 per cent of the
off-shore sugar used by the Unit
ed States came from the Philip
pine Islands, 15 per cent from
Hawaii and 70 per cent from
Puerto Rico and Cuba, the state
ment continues.
One source of supply, the
Philippines, has been completely
lost, the statement continues,
beet sugar production in the na
tion fell off 40 per cent and the
supply from Hawaii, Cuba and
Puerto Rico has dwindled due
largely to transportation diffi
culties. Added to this is the fact
that military , and lend-lease
needs are increasing daily, as
well as the Industrial uses for
sugar. Servicemen, for instance,
are each now using twice as
much sugar as Is allotted to
civilians.
No relief is in sight for the
sugar situation, it is said. Pro
duction in Europe Is at a stand
still. Russia, which produced
2.700,000 tons in 1940-41, fell to
800,000 tons in 1941-42 because
of the "scorched earth" prac
tices of the armies and no re
ports are available now of any
sugar production in any of the
European countries. These coun
tries are now being supplied a
little sugar through the Red
Cross and lend-lease agencies, it
stated, but the main supply
still goes for military uses and
it is thought relief will not be
forth coming for at least two
years.
The critical sugar situation is
in no way a local problem and
even more acute in eastern
seaboard cities, where house
wives in many cases can buy but
one pound of sugar at a tune, it
is reported. Residents are urged
to realize every phase of the
situation has been considered by
the War Food Administration
and the Office of Price Adminis
tration and that the problem
cannot be alleviated by fruitless
complaints levelled at local officials.
